if your web page doesn't work in IE, ur doing it wrong

Well, it depends on your motive.

The message in that graphic doesn't seem to bear too much questioning. I mean, what browser does support HTML5? (None that I know of.) So is the implication that CSS is also involved here? If so, then plenty of non-HTML5 sites don't work in IE.

my assumption is that most people will want to make sure that a substantial portion of their web site's visitors are not shafted by b0rken pages

so you make it work in IE, full stop

[semi-offtopic] my original post, with the picture, was actually added to an older thread, but a moderator split it off into this (new) thread... and i did not assign this thread's title... so i'm wondering if another kind moderator would please fix the spelling error, as it appears that i did it, and i'm pretty careful about spelling errors

it was not in regard to html5 per se, more in response to post #4

Ah, I see. (And my comment was just being cheeky, anyway. What you say is quite right, of course. )

Done! (Well, fixed some punctuation, anyhow. I'm not very good at spelling, but I don't think I've missed anything there.)[/ot]

Sure, but define "work"

A lot of things "work" in IE, but is just buggy.

It was a joke, but ok.

You knowing that, and yet you still assumed there wasn't a possibility of it being a joke as well .

Lol I don't know, some of you guys seem so serious. I also realized we are starting to take over this thread.
